But the Nord can receive a MIDI click, from say a drummer with a trigger, cant it?redisred wrote:Ah! Master Clock Keyboard sync, that's what I need! Grrrrr, dang you NS3 and your many appealing features that I can't afford.

How do you do that at Ableton?Bless_The_Nord wrote:Seaglass wrote:Yes it can receive Midi clock, but Midi clock doesn't contain any information about beats (like when they start or stop) - just the tempo.

I use my midi clock to sync LFOs and Arps just fine. It contains all the information you described. Maybe not the downbeat but that isn't necessary. The stage 2 isn't perfect but all the Nords I've had so far locked perfectly into the Midi clock I've received from say Ableton or similar. No need to play in time anymore.
